Mr. Bivens was born Dec. 14, 1923, in Orrick, Mo. During World War II, he served in the Army in Europe and received a Purple Heart. He moved to Portland in 1955, and was a baker for Nabisco for 28 years. He moved to Gresham in 2001. In 1965, he married Velma I. Scroggins; she died June 29.

Survivors include his son, Robert; sister, Betty Hull; two grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.

Notes (New):

Effective Jan 2014, new and revised entries are posted by death date and Scroggin(s) names (if ever used by the individual) are used for married women, with maiden names in italics and married names in parentheses. Monthly indexes (under construction) show all known name variations. Earlier, not yet revised obituaries are posted by date (may be approximate) of the obituary. Since Blogger will not support pre-1970 dates, pre-1970 deaths will be posted elsewhere at a location to be determined soon.
